My favourite posh-ish whisky is Bunnahabhain 12 which is distinctly not peaty. Great gift material for the rosy-cheeked booze enjoyers in your life.

Mmmm "River-bottom 12", sounds tasty

Yeah definitely not anatomical, the sulk is implied. My mother would often ask me "why ye walking around with a puss on ye?" when I was an angsty teen.

The answer - I was getting zero puss

Check the pressure gauge if it works for a bit then shuts off. If it's low you need to open the tap and fill it up (and there's probably a leak somewhere).

Yeah I pretty much know what the issue is. Used to have to top it up regularly because of a slow leak in the pressure relief valve, then plumber messed with it so now when it heats up the pressure jumps to 3bar and shuts off. So either the pressure valve or the expansion vessel needs replacing. Debatable how much of this is old boiler vs iatrogenic

He also howls in his sleep sometimes (not full throated, but a low mournful howl) which is adorable, but canines only really howl to signal to their pack that they're in distress, so it does worry me.


Thassa load of bollocks imo. Our lil guy sits in the window like an ornament all afternoon and mounrfully howls at any other dogs that walk by - she's just saying "hello, but also this is my spot so don't get any ideas". I'm pretty sure she's not in distress, cause she doesn't otherwise move unless I'm offering her cheese.

She also does have a poor sense of time, but the level of joyful freakout definitely ramps up when my wife's gone 3 days rather than 15 mins. You can tell by the noises and the way she wees on the floor (probably still talking about the dog there)

Theres probably threads on this website that we've posted in that, should the names be known in court, it would not look too clever so I can see why something like that might happen.

Being part of a WhatsApp that bants about rape probably does speak to the mindset of the alleged rapist though. I don't really see the equivalence you're making there.

Maybe if WhatsApp had existed 20years ago in the age of ironic edgelords I wouldn't have objected to being in a pro-rape bants group, but now I would have a big fucken problem with that, and would have major suspicions about anyone who presented themselves that way

Any messages in the group should be evidence enough without the name of the group being stated if they were worried about creating prejustice in the jurors minds.

I remember arguing with someone about a previous rape and murder case where I thought dodgy Google searches on the suspects pc seemed pretty important bits of evidence of the guy being wrong as gently caress. But everyone explained to me I was wrong as it was just circumstantial and would prejustice the jury and the judge was right to exclude it.

Any spelling mistakes or stupid hot takes are because my fingers are loving freezing and I need the hot takes to survive.

Yeah idk I'm not really trying to create new legal theory here, just saying that if you are gleefully part of a group called "Rape and Pillage" in tyool 2022 I will probably assume you would do a rape if you thought you could get away with it
